[TenTec] Jupiter QSK

[N4PY]

The QSK in the Pegasus and Jupiter is the best I have ever heard.  It beats
all the previous tentec transceivers.  It is so good, sometimes, I have to
look at the power supply current to make sure I am transmitting.

When you are hearing a lot of noise, it is only becasue the band is busy
with lots
of signals and you are hearing them in between the dits and dahs.
